There are no cracks appearing in the foundation of NASCAR's most powerful team. But with the Chase for the Sprint Cup two weeks away, there are plenty of questions surrounding Hendrick Motorsports' drivers.

Waiting on the R local at Union Square, where riders have asked him for directions instead of autographs, Jeff Gordon chuckles about fairy tales. His 2-year-old, Ella, is mesmerized by Snow White's princess, poison apple and happily-ever-after ending.

As his family expands, so does the timeline on Jeff Gordon's Sprint Cup career. Once planning to retire from NASCAR at 40, he now wants to drive several more seasons with Hendrick Motorsports so his children can appreciate the success of the sport's sixth all-time winningest driver (82 victories). Gordon has a 2-year-old daughter, Ella Sofia, and his wife, Ingrid, is due with their second child in August.
